Brain Stimulation to Reduce Tremor in Parkinson's or Essential Tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation called closed-loop TMS that automatically adjusts to help reduce tremor in people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. The goal is to see if this technology can better control shaking than standard treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with either essential tremor (uncontrollable shaking) or Parkinson's disease
- You do not have any medical conditions that make brain stimulation unsafe for you
- You are willing to undergo transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive procedure using magnetic pulses on the scalp

This study uses mild electrical stimulation on the brain to see if it can reduce hand tremors in people with Parkinson's disease. It's a non-invasive treatment option that may help improve hand control.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive ultrasound method to reduce shaking (tremor) in people with essential tremor or Parkinson's disease. It may offer an alternative to medication or surgery.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation (tTIS) to see if it can reduce tremors in people with essential tremor. It is for people who are already candidates for a surgical treatment called MRI-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy.
This study tests a new type of magnetic brain stimulation (given as pulses to two brain areas) to help reduce shaking from essential tremor. It is for people whose tremor hasn't improved enough with standard medications.
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) — a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to calm overactive brain cells — can help reduce shaking in people with essential tremor. If you have essential tremor and no metal implants or other brain conditions, you may be eligible to participate.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method called Temporal Interference can help reduce tremors in people with essential tremor. It may offer a new way to calm hand shaking without surgery or medication.
